Lumineuse tout autant que virtuose, la violoniste franco-arménienne Chouchane Siranossian, adepte de l’alpinisme, nous fera gravir les degrés du bonheur afin de faire goûter deux œuvres symphoniques contrastées et une rareté du répertoire concertant pour violon. D’un Mozart âgé de 9 ans l’on entendra une symphonie, présage de son génie, écrite lors de l’étape aux Pays-Bas de son Grand Tour européen avec son père et sa sœur. Puis de son aîné et futur ami Haydn, la toujours étonnante Symphonie « Les adieux », d’un artiste au sommet de son art d’où il ne redescendra jamais, qui y passe un message peu subtil à son patron le prince Esterházy sur le congé auquel aspirent les musiciens de son orchestre. Entre ces deux œuvres, un brillant concerto pour violon sera l’occasion de découvrir le violoniste et compositeur allemand Andreas Romberg, admirateur de Mozart comme de Haydn et qui côtoya Beethoven.

As luminous as she is virtuosic, French-Armenian violinist Chouchane Siranossian, a mountaineering enthusiast, will lead us towards summits of delight as she presents two contrasting symphonic works and a rarity in the concerto repertoire for violin. From a 9-year-old Mozart, we offer a symphony, a foretaste of his genius, written during the Dutch leg of his Grand Tour of Europe with his father and sister. From his elder friend Haydn, we present the astonishing “Farewell Symphony,” written by an artist at the peak of his powers from which he would never descend, with its unsubtle message to his employer, Prince Esterházy, about a long overdue leave of absence for the musicians of his orchestra. Between these two works, a brilliant violin concerto provides an opportunity to discover the German violinist and composer Andreas Romberg, an admirer of both Mozart and Haydn, and an erstwhile colleague of Beethoven.
